Capital City: Copenhagen

Government Info
Government Type: Semi-constitutional monarchy

Brief Explanation of Government: For all intents and purposes, Crown Prince Regent Frederick is ruler of the country in the name of his mentally ill father, King Christian VII. Frederick, with the advice of Chief Minister Andreas Peter Bernstorff, makes all major governmental decisions, with a cabinet of ministers responsible only to the King to help execute these decisions. However, the Danish parliament, the Folketing, is able to check the King’s power; should disagree with the King’s actions, the Folketing can veto the King’s action with a 2/3rds majority.

Ideology: Liberalism, mercantilism, nationalism, expansionism
Leader/s:
Head of State: King Christian VII
Head of Government: Crown Prince Regent Frederick
Chief Minister: Andreas Peter Bernstorff


Population Info
Religion: Protestantism (Lutheran)
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic
Other Cultures: Russian, Swedish, various Native American cultures, various African cultures, various Indian cultures

Military Info
Army: The Danish Army consists of 25,000 men. The army is of average quality, although Crown Prince Regent Frederick has made some attempts to improve the training of the army. Of these 25,000 men: 17,500 are stationed in Denmark proper; 1,500 in Greenland, 2,000 in Iceland; 3,000 in the Danish West Indies; and 500 men each in Danish India and the Danish Gold Coast.

Navy: The Danish Navy is well-trained, but not particularly large. The navy consists of 19 ships of the line, 12 cruisers, 18 frigates and corvettes, and 17 smaller vessels. The navy is divided into four groups:

Home Fleet - 12 ships of the line, 8 cruisers, 12 frigates and corvettes, and 5 smaller vessels
Caribbean Fleet – 5 ships of the line, 2 cruisers, 5 frigates and corvettes, 6 smaller vessels
Indian Fleet – 2 ships of the line, 1 cruiser, 1 frigate, 4 smaller vessels
African Fleet – 1 cruiser, 2 smaller vessels

Other Info

Brief Description of your Economy: The Danish economy is prosperous, if not particularly powerful. Fishing and industries related to the sea are very important, and the Danes are known to be a seafaring people. Denmark is also involved in the lucrative cotton and sugar trades through her colony in the West Indies. Denmark’s primary exports are fish, whaling oil, and sugar, and her primary imports are manufactured goods, machinery, and coal.

Goals: Regain Norway, expand Denmark’s colonial empire, and gain the upper hand over Sweden

History: Modern Denmark emerged in 1524, after the dissolution of the Kalmar Union. At the time, Denmark included Denmark proper, Norway, and Iceland (a small colony in Greenland had failed many years ago). Denmark-Norway, as this state was commonly called, quickly established itself as a regional power. In 1660, an absolute monarchy was created by King Frederick III. It was also in the 17th century that Denmark reached its golden age, reestablishing its Greenland colony, and establishing new colonies in India, the West Indies, and West Africa’s Gold Coast. However, around this time, the rise of Sweden caused much concern among the Danes.

In 1700, Denmark-Norway formed an alliance with Poland-Lithuania, Saxony, and Russia; this new alliance quickly launched an attack on Swedish territories in Livonia. The Swedish king, Charles XII, proved to be a cunning general, and Denmark-Norway was his first target. After invading Zealand with a massive army, Denmark agreed to peace in August of that same year. Denmark-Norway was able to escape the Great Northern War unscathed for now, and Charles XII’s defeat by Russian forces at the Battle of Poltava in 1709 caused much glee throughout Dano-Norwegian lands. However, in 1714, Charles escaped from exile in Constantinople and regained the Swedish throne. While Charles’s first invasion of Norway in 1716 ended in failure due to Charles’s lack of heavy artillery, a second invasion in 1718 resulted in Charles rapidly capturing the major forts and cities of Norway. The Treaty of Uppsala that same year ended the war on terms favorable to Sweden, with all of Norway being ceded to King Charles XII.

After the Treaty of Uppsala, regaining Norway became a perennial goal for many Danish monarchs, with the rivalry between Sweden and Denmark becoming even bitterer. In the face of Swedish power, Denmark sought closer relations with Russia, and also turned to Western nations such as France for help, with limited success.

Major change came in 1784. In that year, Crown Prince Frederick became regent for his mentally ill father, King Christian VII. With the assistance of Chief Minister Andreas Peter Bernstorff, Frederick launched liberal reforms, including the abolition of serfdom in 1788, the loosening of press restrictions in 1789, granting religious freedom to Jews in 1791, and the introduction of a parliament (the Folketing) in 1792. Frederick also reasserted royal authority in the colonies, and stationed more troops in all of Denmark’s colonies.

During this time, General Napoleon Bonaparte rose to prominence in France, becoming First Consul in 1795. Frederick, seeing the new French Republic as rising power that could genuinely help Denmark, concluded an alliance with France in November of 1795.

Now, new opportunities await Denmark. Denmark’s ties to Revolutionary France are displeasing to many powers, primarily Britain, whose Royal Navy is a mighty force to be reckoned with. With Norway still an attractive target to the Danish ruling elite, will France step up to help Denmark regain her former prominence? Or will Napoleon’s thirst for military glory bring ruin to both Denmark and France? Only time will tell, and for now, the Danes merely watch world events in anticipation of what may come next.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Successful subsistence in the Western Po valley have left the Kingdom of Piedmonte-Swisse in a good position in regards to food. They export minerals from the Alps and also keep a burgeoning naval supply industry in Liguria. Some number of textiles are exported from Lombardy too, just for good measure.
Goals: Keep the BBB out... at all costs

History: When Victor Amadeus III ascended to the Throne of Sardinia-Piedmonte in 1773, he did so with an innovative outlook for his demesne. He enacted the 4-Army Military Organisation policy, alongside cultural state institutions and the establishment of the first royal charter, which in turn manifested into a constitution later during his reign. With the Peace of Westphalia securing Switzerlands independence from the Empire, Amadeus pursued a policy of canton aggravation, which pitted the independent cantons against each other, playing on their cultural, and especially religious differences to achieve a fractured Switzerland. Victor Ammadeus particularly favoured the canton of Valais, going so far as to support the canton in its conflicts to the north. Valais eventually began a client state (more of a vassal), and through this proxy Sardinia poured enough resources and support into Valais so that by 1792 the whole of Switzerland was under the direct or indirect influence of the Savoyard state.

Because of this northward focus, Amadeus never granted hospitality to his sons-in-law, and also steered Sardinia-Piedmonte clear of a war with revolutionary France, a conflict which would have savaged the kingdom. The island of Sardinia itself was ceded to the spanish, a sign of the kingdom's new stance concerning it's place in the European mainland, although several port expansions in Liguria and Nice saw limited growth in the Savoyard Navy. When Victor Amadeus III died in late 1795, he left the realm in a precarious state. Galvanised into action, his son and heir, Charles Emmanuel IV, sought the support of his now autonomous subjects in the Swiss cantons in establishing nominal status as part of a Dual-Kingdom. He was officially crowned a week before the turn of the year, as King Charles Emmanuel IV of Piedmonte-Swisse, Lord of the Dual-kingdom and Duke of Savoy.

To put into perspective why the amount of guns to army ratio is so small: an eight-pounder cannon required 13 men to crew and four horses, a 12-pounder required a crew of 15 and 6 horses, and the same goes for a 12-pounder mortar. Guns are expensive, not just in the raw cost of production, but also in manpower and horsepower, so suggestions of an Italian 900-gun army strike me as a bit silly.

Guns are expensive, not just in the raw cost of production, but also in manpower and horsepower, so suggestions of an Italian 900-gun army strike me as a bit silly.

I get the feeling you're talking to me. I personally have little knowledge of this era - military size wise. I have no idea how many artillery pieces I should have, could you make an educated guess please?

I'm talking in general, but the Swiss-Piedmontese Army might have, sum total, about 200 guns.
